Did a little cut-back on my small Berberis. It has really developed
nicely in the past year and actually won't need much longer to be show
ready which is quite rare for decidious bonsai to be 'ready' so soon.

In
spring I will repot it and hopefully it will fit into it's new pot.
It's quite on the small side. Otherwise we will just wait one more year. :) Last photo is the tree one year ago.

This is the story of the development of one of my black pines or Pinus nigra. I got this tree in a trade with a friend in 2015. Since it has already spent a few years in the pot, I begun working on it the same year.

A few photos from the Aki-Ten exhibition, which was held in Brixen/Bressanone, Italy a few weeks ago. Very lovely exhibition with good quality bonsai. The guest of honor was the Japanese bonsai master Chiharu Imai.
